I read a thread on here yesterday. In the thread there was a reply about our players not being world class. I could not find that thread again so I though I would share my views.

To me, world class players are the players that can single handedly change the course of a game. Think Messi, Ronaldo, Zlatan and their ilk. Liverpool has those players. We have Gerrard and Suarez. Previously we've also had Torres and Alonso. All of them are players I consider world class. What Liverpool haven't had for many years is quality support to their star players. If we take a look at the top teams currently: Man Utd, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Dortmund, (I can go on for a while but I'll leave it at this). They all have quality support players. Players who do the dirty work, like Busquets, Xavi, Pedro, Di Maria and Benzema. All quality players, but they take on a supporting role to the true stars. Right now Liverpool is starting to build that core of players again. The core that will let incredibly talented players become superstars.

I think football fans in general are to focused on getting that one player who will change the teams fortunes rather than having a team that can possibly let a current player change his fortunes. Just look at Luis Suarez this season. The players that support him have really given him the possibility to shine. Much like in Uruguay where he's the best player on the team. He eclipses Cavani for me, and that is because he has the players to work with. We need more players that can do the unsexy work on a football pitch to let everyone have a bigger oppurtunity to shine.
